    EVENT: Heartland Chapter Rally: MA, Shelburne - 9/25/2015 to 9/27/2015

    We are a no-go. My truck is dead, accelerator pedal position sensor went. And with it being a manual transmission, no one carries one in stock. If the one my buddy ordered is right, we'll be late. If it's not, which I doubt it is, we hope you all enjoy the weekend.

    tires came in today. I ended up buying Michelin rib XPS. 245 75 16's. what a difference in quality over the towmax tires that are on it. American made, and weighing almost 20 pounds more a piece. They cost almost $1,900, but I'm thinking that's money well spent. Thanks for the info

    Thanks for the info, that's what I was looking for. So my next question are there any good e rated tires that won't cost me $2400?

    3042 lbs. I'm not looking to increase that, I was just hoping to buy a better quality tire, built stronger. g rated tires go to 110 lbs

    The rim I have in my living room has only the load rating, no air pressure rating.

    I have an 09 cyclone 3850, bought it last summer. It has tow max tires on it currently, probably replaced by the previous owners due to the depth of the tread. They are load range E. I'm going to replace these tires just to be on the safe side. will there be any issue with putting load range G...

    Used pricing is crazy

    my wife and I drove almost 2,000 miles, from New Hampshire to Texas to get a good deal on our camper. We found a similar after, 1 year newer, and it was $20,000 more. Plus toy haulers in New Hampshire aren't common, thus increasing the value apparently. the Internets your friend.

    Onan 5500 issues running reading codes and parts

    I downloaded the owners manual, and it does basically cover everything. If it drops below 1000 rpms for a second, it triggers a code. Of course it doesn't tell you how to fix it

    Onan 5500 issues running reading codes and parts

    I went to camping world this past weekend. as I figured they had nothing in stock, except four quarts of oil. Waiting for the UPS truck to show up now. And almost got all the old gas out.I checked for codes, and it brought up the 3-6 code. Which could be fuel filter issue.

    RW415 - Remove parts of the 2nd bathroom to increase garage area

    Gothca. have you actually been inside one and measured it? I know a lot of people on here have complained their 12 foot garage isn't really 12 feet.

    RW415 - Remove parts of the 2nd bathroom to increase garage area

    anything's possible, but a, my cyclone has a carrying capacity of 3000 pounds. Not sure about that one. & B, how would you get the car in sideways? To me, it would be better to get the floor plan you want, put your car in the back, and have your friend follow you.

    Onan 5500 issues running reading codes and parts

    thanks, I did some investigating myself, and found the location of the fuel filter, and found it on eBay. I'm going to stop by Camping World this weekend, if they don't have it I'll just order it. I did do an oil change on it already, which I think it was the first time, and used a Baldwin...

    Thanks, I never thought of doing it that way.I thought about putting in a space heater, but I was thinking that all the outlets were on the same breaker, not thinking of plugging into the refrigerator outlet, wine cooler outlet ect. my son will definitely be excited, free gas for a month, lol...

    Onan 5500 issues running reading codes and parts

    I ran mine yesterday, under no load it ran for 2-3 minutes then started surging up and down until finally stalling. Until then it ran smooth. I've noticed the gas is very yellow looking. It came from texas, I was thinking it was an ethanol colored gas. Would an 09 Onan show codes as described...

    New Hitch WOW!

    I have the companion hitch. The handle on the gooseneck part had the weld fail. Handle separated from it. I called b&w, they had me send a picture of the failed part. In less than a week I had a brand new hitch sent to me. Customer service is second to none.

    hauling vehicle for 2014 Elkridge E29 5th wheel

    I don't know about the new ones, but I have a 2004.5 dodge Cummins. The only difference between a 2500 and 3500 single wheel is a set of overload springs. I don't think its worth going one ton and not going dually. A 2500 with airbags would be the same. A dually would speed the load over 4...

    SUV towing 2015 28BRS, please help!

    Mine would actually stop my truck. If adjusted right and the brake controller is set up properly, that shouldn't be a problem. Plus, a lot of companies make upgraded brake parts.

    SUV towing 2015 28BRS, please help!

    You could look into getting air bags. That'll help level your tow vehicle. And maybe a tire upgrade to e rated ones. That will take away some of the sway due to the higher pressure/ increased side wall plys.

    Keeping the fridge cold during travel without propane or generator

    How about wiring in an inverter? I bought an 800 watt one from lowes for $43. I tried it to see if it would run mine. It did fine. Supposedly using 223 watts of power. the camper battery would charge from the tow vehicle while hooked up.

    that is the pond at their big rig section. Bayleys is about a mile away from the ocean, which they have a free trolley for. As for the patio, I did make it myself.we saw some before that had the patio deck, and thought it was a factory option that we could buy later. Which we found out is not...

    Towing a 2015 3160 Heartland 5th wheel camper.

    because I had the truck already when I upgraded to this, I just added airbags and ran it. From texas to nh. I averaged just over 10 mpg with plenty of power. its no race horse by any means, but when it gets up to speed it'll maintain it. as for not being a dually i just use quality tires maxed...

    interior lens

    2000 miles? Mine are in wood trim. Still doable, but I was hoping to get new lens' s and be done. If it's anything like the projects around my house it'll never get completed.

    interior lens

    I called heartland, 24 dollars apiece for the led ones but they're bigger now.they don't carry the regular kind anymore. Apparently my campers too old. So now if I want to replace the lens, I'm going to have to drill every hole bigger. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. At least I have all...

    interior lens

    that I don't know, but I did find a couple broken ones in the garbage can. But for the deal I think I got on it, and the fact I was supposed to get new ones I didn't care. Time to call up heartland.

    interior lens

    I bought the camper 5 months ago in Texas. I figured by now I would have had them. The sales guy called me approximately 1 month after I purchased it and I asked him about the lenses, he said he thought I would have had them by now and would look into it. I don't know who he ordered them from. I...

    interior lens

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with a dilemma. I purchased my camper earlier this spring. When I went to buy it the dealer said it was missing 3 inch ceiling lenses (6 of them) and that they were on order. Well they never came in, so I'm looking to purchase some. Would these be a dealer only...
